Li Bai's birthplace is Chu, Kazakhstan. Another candidate is Suiye in Central Asia (near modern-day Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan). However his family had originally dwelt in what is now southeastern Gansu , and later moved to Jiangyou, near modern Chengdu in Sichuan province, when he was five years old.

Comments about Li Po

All i did was being nice and lovely
It all started on a sunny day
At school beautiful compound
Were taboo was meant because of love
A senior girl failed in love with a junior boy
Unbelievable to other senior students
Jealousy on the other junior students
Have you ever tasted this. Feeling before?
In a school lodge it has been in the ears of all birds
Greatest story ever told
Love birds enjoying thier relationship
Gossip were meant in their names
Their ears folds gossips,and the relationships grows bigger
More jealousy and surprises embarks audiens
the first love to both, they don,t know the love rules
They play it like your first day on purzle
Watering the love flower all together
Standing together,watching it grow in a gazing squence
Loves like you first day in suduku game
No agurment, no quarel ,no misunderstanding
Always trying to get it,s point of wickness
Gossiper and news caster always troubling the ear,
Finally in the school lodge
Lover gave up there virginity to each other
Not knowing it,s predicament and sacrifice
It was the best night for them
Blood everywere
Finding out they gave up their virginity for both
they promised each other love till enternity
Always being the the top of In the school
Gave them power and courage to survive
Thirms ends, and holiday emarged
Both crying bitterly,
For they have no meens of incommunicado
Waving to each other,please be alive till the school resumes
No one enjoying the holiday
Because their hapiness were not together
The holiday was like a widow waiting for his husband to be burried
Until the holiday came to an end,,,
Boy was hurried back to school
At the first day of school
Busy looking for his happines
Was all he did,,friend finds it so difficult to play with him
Because his minds runs for were she could be
Like a man waiting for the arrival of his wife to be in the church, he has no rest of mind
Troubling and fighting his mind on hw to run to her
To welcome her,, till the day fades away
still no signs of her for five days made d him a dull boy
Lesson in the class was,nt for his listening
As her always troubles his mind over her wearabout
Teacher and students were also on a suspence of her wearabout
On a beautiful sunny sunday,, a news came to them
That the girl died on a motor acident on her way back for her holiday
The school lost it treasure
the boy lost his happiness
The teachers lost their hope
They students lost a friend
What a lost!!!!!
All i did was being nice and lovely

Alone And Drinking Under The Moon

Amongst the flowers Iam alone with my pot of winedrinking by myself; then liftingmy cup I asked the moonto drink with me, its reflectionand mine in the wine cup, justthe three of us; then I sighfor the moon cannot drink,and my shadow goes emptily alongwith me never saying a word;with no other friends here, I canbut use these two for company;in the time of happiness, Itoo must be happy with allaround me; I sit and singand it is as if the moonaccompanies me; then if Idance, it is my shadow thatdances along with me; ...
